We are in Eastham for 14 days on first encounter beach. It is my goal to remain barefoot the entire time. Oh, and read as much as possible as I will not have the time to pick up another book until we return to Eastham next summer! Came here looking for book recommendations. The kids are at Salt Pond clamming for dinner. Nothing tastes better.

Nothing to do with this, but your piece in Brain, Child - about a letter to your younger self - was beautiful and brilliant. I so identified with it, my own children being 8 and almost 7. Thanks for such a wonderful piece of writing!
